@jillpromoli Honestly, I think your heart’s in the right place, but PDSB isn’t listening to anyone about anything. They are protecting top employees. I don’t know what the right answer is, and maybe the government may surprise us. I just know that PDSB has been tanking for years.
@RM2074125449497@DrKateTO I’m just gonna respectfully move on you clearly have a chip on your shoulder. And just to clarify, I am nowhere near wealthy nor have I had it made my whole life. I’m simply saying you’re taking a comment and making it something it’s not. Have a great day.
@RM2074125449497@DrKateTO I was a single mom for a very long time. I followed the weather when storms were coming. I made arrangements and ultimately my responsibility. I understand what you’re saying, but at the same time you can’t keep schools open just because of childcare and risk lives to get there.
@DDSBSchools Wow, this is disappointing and so disrespectful to your educators, custodians, anyone you forced to get to school today. I hope no one got hurt today because of your poor judgement. I wonder if who’s making the decisions is at home today?
@ImpatienTourist As much as I feel bad the reality is any good employer would understand today’s closures, if they don’t that’s an employer problem. It is hazardous, accidents everywhere. Just because someone needs childcare for the day doesn’t justify the cons of driving or getting somewhere
During a winter storm, it's best to stay off the roads if you can.
However, if you must travel tonight and tomorrow as the snow accumulates, be extra careful on the road.
If you're walking, cycling or driving, remember to:
- Stay alert and travel to conditions.
- Be patient and plan your commute ahead.
- Keep a safe distance from snow-clearing equipment.

@PeelSchools just wow! How about you rotate 20 mins through a cooling station. High temperatures? Do you know how many children and staff will be ill tomorrow???
🌡️ Heat Warning in Effect
With high temperatures expected this week, PDSB schools are following hot weather protocols to help keep students safe and comfortable.
💧 Send a refillable water bottle
🧢 Dress your child in light clothing and a hat
❄️ Put an ice pack in their lunch or freeze their water bottle

@ETFOPeel@PaulCalandra Yes, agreed but you know just like thousands of businesses will allow their employees to stay home tomorrow. School boards could make the decision that it’s not humane for children to be in those conditions.
@ETFOPeel@PaulCalandra OK, this is all great and dandy that it needs to be addressed but it’s needed to be addressed for years and nobody does anything. At the end of the day, ETFO members, Paul, administration in schools and head office PDSB employees are all sitting in AC buildings.
@CP24 How about you do a story and contact people District school board Toronto District, school board and all the other boards and ask them why they think it’s humane to have students in classrooms registering 47° and higher
It’s going to be 47 with the humidex and most k-8 schools have no air conditioning. What’s the plan @PeelSchools@ETFOPeel@ETFOeducators to keep kids and staff safe. Second story floors are already up to 29 degrees in the classrooms before this even hits.
